I don’t understand why so many people are trying to analyze the numbers in the US as if we all live in the same place. The US is huge and the situation is vastly different between different states and even different areas within states. Consider the fact that as of today more than 100k of the confirmed cases in the US are in New York and ~57k of those are in New York City.
